PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This qualification will enable qualifying learners with the necessary knowledge, understanding and competence in jewellery design. Learners credited with this qualification are able to design jewellery utilising advanced jewellery technology.

The ability of the industry to develop its potential in the beneficiation of raw materials is dependent upon the development of these skills to provide the platform for expansion and to have a base of skilled workers for further development. The Jewellery Manufacturing Industry relies on competent jewellery manufacturers and setters, who in turn rely on jewellery designers to provide them with fashionable and practical designs.

Learners credited with this qualification are able to:
  • Communicate and solve problems within a jewellery design environment.
  • Comply with workplace practices regarding Occupational Health and Safety.
  • Draw and design jewellery using various design processes and techniques.
  • Identify and grade a gemstone for buying and selling purposes in the jewellery market.

    Rationale:

    Jewellery designers, manufacturers and setters work closely together to create, produce and market jewellery. For this reason, the South African Jewellery Manufacturing Industry has identified Jewellery Design as a critical skill. Rapid technological development has necessitated the need for high level skilled jewellery designers in South Africa.

    As 80% of commercial jewellery in South Africa is imported there are great opportunities for the the Jewellery Manufacturing Industry in South Africa to design and manufacture jewellery for the South African market and abroad. The competitive jewellery market requires products that follow and set fashion trends, are of a high quality and are well marketed.

    Currently there is a shortage of well rounded jewellery designers that can meet the industry needs and grow the South African jewellery market. This qualification will produce more skilled designers who, in conjunction with jewellery manufacturers and setters, will contribute to developing the South African jewellery market by producing quality products which can compete locally and in the global market. This qualification will increase the technical proficiency and size of the workforce; which would then enable industry to satisfy the local demands for jewellery without having to rely on imports, thereby decreasing the importation of cheap jewellery which is a threat to the Industry.

    The majority of the learners entering this qualification are likely to be working in the jewellery industry as diamond and gemstone setters or jewellery manufacturing operators.

    The benefits of achieving a recognised qualification may also draw those already working as Jewellery designers formally or informally and who will benefit from the opportunities of assessment and subsequent recognition presented by RPL. (Recognition of Prior Learning).

    In some cases learners may come from other industries, however they would have to become familiar with the basic operations associated with Jewellery design before they can proceed with this qualification.

    A typical learning pathway for learners with this qualification would be the GETC: Mining and Minerals Processes (Jewellery stream), National Certificate: Minerals Processing, NQF Level 2, National Certificate: General Draughting, NQF Level 3. Learners can then progress onto the National Certificate: Jewellery Production Management, NQF Level 5.

    Qualifying learners will be appointed as jewellery designers working in conjunction with other jewellery manufacturing operators under the guidance of an experienced mentor. This qualification provides the learner with the knowledge of and skills in jewellery design and techniques necessary for the design of jewellery. The elective unit standards provide the learner with knowledge in diamond and gemstone setting and jewellery manufacture, which could provide a basis for further specialisation in those areas.

    Jewellery design is based on information from the Goldsmith in terms of the design specifications. The designer will guide the Goldsmith in terms of the combination of stones and setting lay out, metals and other precious materials. This qualification will provide learners with the knowledge and skills necessary for jewellery design.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Integrated assessment at the level of the qualification provides an opportunity for learners to show they are able to integrate concepts, actions and ideas achieved across a range of unit standards and contexts.

    Integrated assessment must evaluate the quality of observable performance as well as the thinking behind the performance, and must be based on a summative assessment guide. The guide will spell out how the assessor will assess different aspects of the performance and will include:
  • Observing the learner while designing and manufacturing of jewellery: (This includes gem setting and interaction with clients, colleagues and management).
  • Asking questions regarding the processes underlying a wide range of activities such as:

    > Jewellery manufacture.
    > Gem setting.
    > Design and.
    > Gemmology.

    and initiating short discussions to test understanding of

    > House keeping.
    > Productivity.
  • Looking at the design/s or photos in lieu thereof, records such as employment history and references, progress reports and statement of competency, other evidence in the portfolio and reviewing previous assessments.

    In some cases inference will be necessary to determine competence depending on the nature and context within which performance takes place, particularly when looking at the jewellery design, to see whether the requirements have been met.

    The design of jewellery entails:
  • Applied Numeracy.

    > The rendering of technical drawings to specified requirements.
    > Calculate the costing of materials.
  • Applied communication.
    > Liaising with the clients and key people in the design process.
  • Problem solving.

    > Combining techniques, materials and processes to design innovative variations of jewellery.
    > Design standard forms of jewellery using unique and innovative processes, techniques and tools.
    > Troubleshooting.
    > Improving productivity.

    It is necessary to ensure that the fundamental part of the qualification is also targeted to ensure that while the competence may have been achieved in a particular context, learners are able to apply it in a range of other contexts and for further learning. The assessment should also ensure that all the critical cross-field outcomes have been achieved.

    The learner may choose in which language s/he wants to be assessed. This should be established as part of a process of preparing the learner for assessment and familiarising the learner with the approach being taken.

    While this is primarily a workplace-based qualification, evidence from other areas of endeavour may be introduced if pertinent to any of the exit-level outcomes. The assessment process should cover both the explicit tasks required for the qualification as well as the understanding of the concepts and principles that underpin the activities associated with the jewellery design process.
